The Wearings of Nametags
May. 9th, 2004 10:08 pmMet the ministerial candidate for the UU church today.
He's a really interesting guy, and I like him, but I don't know if he's a good fit for the congregation. He's very much a doer, and this is a thinking congregation. On the other hand, if
lord_of_entropy thinks he'll be all right, I suspect I should trust him on this one - he's very much a thinker, and he knows the congregation better than I do.
He does seem to be fairly friendly towards the earth-centered traditions, and familiar with some. I felt reasonably comfortable, although I doubt he'll ever attend our circles.
I'm going to go ahead and do a small pledge to the church this year, in the interest of developing a more formal relationship with it, I think. It's a comfy closet, if I ever need one (although, at the moment, if the CP gives me any shit about it I'll wear "Pagan" like a badge, to the faculty at least). It's also a structured place to interact with people who are liberal and libertarian. Safe spaces are few and far between for that, these days.
This surprises no one:

You seem older than your years, like a wise sage.
Your head always either buried in a book, or
discussing what you have learned with others,
you are Thoth. The creator of writing, and
language, you are full of wisdom. When you
talk, people listen, knowing they will learn
something new.
Which Ancient Egyptian Deity are you?
